It's slightly funny to me that this is presented like something that needed to be discovered, and something for which people have to make apps. This is just a basic thing about being alive, people have known this life hack for about a million years. Maybe some people forgot, or were told something else and believed it, I don't know. Maybe not funny, maybe sad.
- titanomachy 3y agoVery few adults I know can say that they have some of their closest friends within a five-minute walk. I think it’s quite rare in North America, at least outside of a few dense urban neighborhoods.
- karaterobot 3y agoWhat I'm saying is that people have been living close to their friends and relatives since there have been human societies, as a rule. That has been the default for humans. It's the last hundred and fifty years or so in which that changed, and maybe especially the last few decades. It'd be like if people started sleeping during the daylight, and then somebody said "hey, I just realized there are benefits to sleeping at night, so I built an app to help you do that."
- digging 3y agoThis comes off like a really arrogant brag that you, the freethinker, have lived in such perfect community and locality that you're surprised to learn there are others who do not. That you can pretend not to know western society was designed to isolate us from birth to death, because you've so effortlessly flaunted it.
- karaterobot 3y agoThat's not how I intended it.
- digging 3y agoI've had a frustrating day, so that way only my perspective. How did you intend it though?
